It had some major problems with editing and pacing and a lot of little problems with consistency and other little discrepancies, but otherwise I thought the theme and atmosphere of the whole thing was good.

No one wants to hate it. We want to love it but it didn't deliver.
It was disappointing and he had 30 years to get it right.
It's just honesty.

So much nitpicking doe.

I'd be much more convinced of this if people didn't come up with the bullshittiest of reasons for disliking it.

like i said it's all about how people look at.

a lot of people were expecting alien/aliens quality, and it was far from that. as a stand alone movie it's not bad but most people don't view it like that.

For me it was the plotholes. It's even in igns own plothole guide, one or two of the plotholes ign came up with are wrong but granted they have a quote from the writers:

"My script underwent a number of major evolutions as we were working on it, and then Damon came in and made further changes still."
Damon butchered lost, he had no business making changes in a movie like Prometheus.

I enjoyed the movie myself, it was fun to watch and looked good but if you spend thirty seconds thinking the movie completely unravels. It could have been so much better and it wasn't.

Watch their actual review of the film. They actually liked it a little bit and don't bring up any of that stuff and when they do, it is more jokingly.

It's all true. Bottom line. Movie is balls.

You are shifting the goal post though, lol. My point which you contested was that the video is not meant as a serious criticism, which it is not. If anything it is meant as a parody against people like you who think nitpicky criticisms like this can destroy a film. Jay even says in the review that people who get angry over a film like this for having minor inconsistencies and flaws, despite being well-put-together and ambitious, should probably stop watching movies.

It's a great movie, people are dumb. I think some just didn't like that they didn't sit down and spell out the answers. That said, I would of liked a little bit of clarification on davids test with the goo, and maybe a little more insight into how the Goo works in making an alien. The nitpicky Shit while there do little to distract from the movie.

Also I think it would have been interesting to highlight more on davids relationship with his creators and how that parallels with the rest of the movie.

I hope they make another, a sequel seems logical and I rarely feel that way
